Steven Gerrard has dedicated his 100th goal for Liverpool to all the club's fans.

The Reds skipper reached the milestone with a trademark fierce free-kick in front of the Kop end during Liverpool's 3-1 win over PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League.

Gerrard was delighted to reach the century mark and paid tribute to the support he has received during his time at the club.

"It was great to get my 100th goal in front of the Kop to say thank-you for all the support the fans have given me over the years," Gerrard told Sky Sports 2.

"But the most important thing tonight was to get another win to put ourselves in the driving seat in the group.

"We are a very confident group this season and there is a good bond between the players on and off the pitch.

"But we have not won anything yet and it's important we do win some silverware this season."

Relief

The game also saw Robbie Keane finally grab his first goal for his new club since his big-money move from Tottenham and the Irishman was relieved to break his duck.

"It's got a monkey off my back and it was a great feeling to score," said Keane. "I've always believed in my own ability and I wasn't worried about not scoring yet, although other people seemed to be."

Keane also hailed Gerrard for reaching his landmark and has backed the midfield dynamo to add to his goals tally.

"As for Stevie G, it's fantastic for a midfield player to get 100 goals and we know there will be more to come," added Keane.
